general media Which comedians do you like?

[Shanks 10,816]

George Carlin, sure he had a filthy mouth, a very very filthy mouth but although I didn't agree with him on everthing and he was way way more cynical than I was even at my worst he also made a lot of inteliigent and profound points.

[Troblems 5,617]

Eddie Izzard. Nothing like a hefty guy cross dressing and prancing about a stage wearing heels, ranting about the fog in San Francisco.

[Mr. Critical 434]

Benny Hill. I love this guys sketch comedy. I've always loved british humor.

[RoguesWolfe 192]

Yes, finally someone else! I Love Eddie Izzard! Not only as a comedian but as an actor as well. I Love him in the show The Riches.

[NomDeSpite 452]

The dearly departed Mitch Hedberg (1968-2005, drug overdose) is my favorite stand-up comedian. Thank you for making us laugh, thank you for making us think about the world in a different way.

 

-I hope the next time I move I get a phone number that's real easy to remember. Something like 222-2222. People would say, "Mitch, how do I get a hold of you?" I'd say, "Just press two for a while and when I answer, you will know you have pressed two enough."

 

-If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be fucked up.

 

-I want to be a race car passenger. Just a guy who bugs the driver. "Say man, can I turn on the radio?" "You should slow down." "Why do we gotta keep going in circles?" "Man, you really like Tide..."

 

-I like rice. Rice is great when you're hungry and you want 2,000 of something.

 

-Whenever I go to shave, I assume there's someone else on the planet shaving, so I say, "I'm gonna go shave, too."

 

-Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier than helping them move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load shit into a truck.

 

-I’d hate to be the headless horseman’s dentist. You wouldn’t make very much money.

Found him... it's Gabriel Iglesias... man he's funny...

[RED20 289]

Gabriel Iglesias, Steve Martin, Brian Reagan. 

[Artleck 70]

Lee evans is just brilliant to me. I grown up watching his stand ups and jeez. He is hilarious. As well as John bishop.

[SCS 7,537]

Two of my favorite comedians are Stephen Colbert and Bill Hader. The former is the host of The Colbert Report, and the latter is a former repertory cast member for Saturday Night Live. 
 
In my opinion, both of them exemplify the art of comedy. They are truly masterful. Their mannerisms and their overall mode of comedic delivery are unique and profoundly hilarious. In the contexts I have seen them in, while some of their jokes are of an inappropriate nature they, for the most part, do not rely on incessant and pervasive vulgarity for the purpose of shock value in order to drive their comedy. It seems that many modern comedians do rely on such shock value, which is regrettable. 
 
The Colbert Report is an inherently political show. While I do not always necessarily agree with Colbert's political standpoints, I love his comedic style nonetheless.

[Nohbdy 4,108]

My most favourite comedian is this guy

Lee evans.

 

 

And this has to be one of my favourite parts of his stand up

Jim Gaffigan, Bo Burnham, Stephen Lynch, Gabriel Iglesias... Probably more but that's all off the top of my head.

For the depth of his commentary, George Carlin. For her attitude and demeanor, Wanda Sykes.

[Scootalove 10,689]

Kevin Hart and Wanda Sykes. Also: Bill Cosby, Dave Chappelle, and Robin Williams.

[Khaoios 1,970]

I love to listen to Bill Cosby, and Robin Williams.  These guys just give me a laugh.

[Dattebayo 2,850]

Dave Chappelle.

It's a shame one of the only few remaining God-tier comedians called it quits...

 

I'm okay though, I guess...

In one of his last stand-up in Hartford, Chicago, he was heckled so bad, he walked off stage.

The lst one he did, he said that he hoped North Korea would bomb Hartford, that in the future he would not stop in Hartford for gas and and then wrapped it up nicely by shouting "Fuck Hartford!".

[Moonlight 7,287]

Bo Burnham is probably my personal favorite, I don't really get into comedians much though. 

[Dattebayo 2,850]

Watch this if you have the time, you'll understand why he deserves all of his accolades.

You will NOT regret it.

Funny Bastards xD

[King Sejong 859]

   I have watched George Carlin forever, and I love his comedy, of tell it how it is, tell people what they should hear, so after I came home from the military, I enjoyed George even more, because what he made fun of way back, is coming true for that is the making of the organism we became, now I see Doug Stanhope as my current favourite comedian, he is pretty close to George Carlin, playing on social and political satires, that make up our present, some might see them as profane, but they have a lot of wit, so not only are they funny, but they are insightful and wise.

Brian Regan in stand-up.
